Teak Garden Bench & Table Brought Back in Billingshurst

The job

Years outdoors had left both pieces covered in green algae and ingrained dirt. The shape of the bench was still there under it, and the joints were sound, so there was no case for replacing either piece.

Richard worked them back by hand — a scraper along every slat and moulding, and a wire brush in the drill for the gaps between slats and the awkward corners a scraper cannot reach. Underneath it, the teak was clean and the colour came straight back.

Both pieces were then oiled, slat by slat, and put back out on the gravel. Same bench, same table, no parts replaced.
